God Bless Mark Levin for writing his best selling book: "Liberty and Tyranny."
A friend downloaded Levin's book to his Kindle. He searched for "statist/statism" and found some 248 entries.
It is such a communicative term that is woefully under-used and not well understood.
Here is a link to our friends at Taxing Tennessee where another excellent definition of "statism" appears:
STATISM: Government that colludes so easily and instinctively with powerful private interests. (That means unions, too!)
